thank you
  for letting me stay here
  thank you for taking me in
  thank you
  for the beer and the food
  thank you
  for loaning me bus fare
  thank you for showing me around
  that was a very kind thing to do
  thank you
  for the use of the clean towel
  thank you for half of your bed
  we can sleep here like brother and sister,
  you said
  
  but you changed the rules
  in an hour or two
  and I don't know what you
  and your sisters do
  but please don't
  please stop
  this is not my obligation
  what does my body have to do
  with my gratitude?
  
  look at you
  little white lying
  for the purpose of justifying
  what you're trying to do
  I know that you feel my resistance
  I know that you heard what I said
  otherwise you wouldn't need the excuse
  
  thank you
  for letting me stay here
  thank you for taking me in
  I don't know where else
  I would have turned
  but I don't come and go
  like a pop song
  that you can play incessantly
  and then foget when it's gone
  you can't write me off
  and you don't turn me on
  
  so don't change the rules
  in an hour or two
  I don't know what you and your
  sisters do
  but please don't
  please stop
  this is not my obligation
  what does my body have to do
  with my gratitude?
